Our polling place locator is here as just another reminder to save time on Tuesday by voting early. In continuing in our theme from yesterday, I present you with the major developments for 10 more states. A quick reminder, these are events over the past few months that have influenced the election cycle, or are rather noteworthy. Hawaii: Split Views

Yes, President Obama was born here even though his skeptics think his birth certificate is a fake.

Neil Abercrombie (D HI 1) resigned to concentrate on the gubernatorial race leading to a three-way special election won by the GOP (For those keeping score at home, this reduced the Republican magic number down to 39)

Idaho:Tea Party Strikes Again

Tea party infighting produced an upset, Raúl Labrador, in the Republican primary in the 1st district.

Governor Butch Otter (R) is one of only 13 incumbent governor’s seeking reelection this cycle

Illinois: Highly Competitive

Had he not been elected POTUS, Senator Barack Obama (D) would be seeking his 2nd term.

Primary season began with highly competitive races producing close outcomes where big-spending, establishment candidates couldn’t count on victory

Senator Tom Harkin (D) gave up the chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee to become the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee following the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D MA).

GOP reached back more than two decades for their gubernatorial candidate Terry Branstad.

President Obama picked then Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D) as Health & Human Services Secretary and her replacement decided not to run in 2010 which made Senator Sam Brownback (R) a sure thing to leave Congress and become governor.
